"I attended thinking I might get the opportunity to tell at least 1 person about my idea... I got way more than that! From talking about my idea, listening to really great advice, and also introducing myself to people I never would have approached on my own — what I love the most, was not feeling alone in the journey of building something bigger than my self."
Partner Spotlight
